Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is actively developing international cooperation with leading educational and industrial institutions in China. Representatives of the Polytechnic University participated in three significant events aimed at expanding its presence in the Asia-Pacific region. The Polytechnic University was represented by Darina Balzhimaeva, Lead Manager of the SPbPU Representative Office in Shanghai, and Anna Kuznetsova and Evgenia Borodina, specialists from the Department of International Educational Programs and Academic Mobility.
A delegation from Polytechnic University took part in the 23rd China International Talent Exchange Conference, which was held at the Shanghai World Expo Center.
The main theme of the exhibition was continuing education. Interest from Chinese colleagues in the university's booth remained strong throughout the event. Requests for advanced training and internships came from a wide range of organizations: from the banking sector, research centers, higher education institutions, medical institutions, educational centers, and industrial corporations.
The goal of Polytechnic University's participation is to develop cooperation in organizing short-term professional development programs for representatives of Chinese companies. During negotiations with organizations such as China Nuclear Industry and China Development and Investment Corporation, the development of programs in information technology, artificial intelligence, materials science, and engineering was discussed.
Participation in the conference contributed to the effective promotion of SPbPU's international continuing education programs. "We are currently seeing a steady increase in the number of inquiries from China," noted Darina Balzhimaeva.
The next step was the university's participation in the prestigious China Education Expo 2025, held in Beijing. The China Association for International Education Exchange (CAIE) holds this annual key event in Southeast Asia, promoting the strengthening of international ties and showcasing the opportunities offered by international education. In 2025, 400 educational institutions from 38 countries participated in the expo.
Representatives of the Polytechnic University participated in a presentation of Russian universities at the Russian Cultural Center in Beijing, as well as in an online broadcast on Chinese internet platforms.
Applicants from China were able to gain a detailed understanding of the educational opportunities offered by Polytechnic University. At our university's booth, they inquired about programs in in-demand fields: IT, construction, computer science, advanced materials, biotechnology, and energy.
Participation in educational exhibitions demonstrates the interest of Chinese students and companies in Polytechnic University programs. Working at the China Education Expo allows us to directly attract talented applicants and strengthen partnerships with Chinese universities.
Our university's delegation also attended the Delta Global Learning Week, an international educational week held at leading Chinese universities: the University of Science and Technology of China, Nanjing University, and Zhejiang University. More than 20 prestigious universities from around the world were represented at the event. At the exhibition, Anna Kuznetsova, a specialist from the SPbPU Department of International Educational Programs and Academic Mobility, presented the university's capabilities, introducing Chinese students to its master's and doctoral programs, as well as summer and winter schools.
Delta Global Learning Week became an effective platform for Chinese students to learn about the Polytechnic's master's and doctoral programs, summer and winter schools, and internships, as well as academic mobility opportunities. Participation in the exhibition opened up a wide range of educational pathways for Chinese students at SPbPU, noted Olga Yemelyanova, Head of the Department of International Educational Programs and Academic Mobility.
Attracting foreign specialists and working alongside them is a stimulus for our scientific schools, offering an exchange of best practices and new opportunities for joint research. The results of the exhibition confirmed that our Chinese colleagues are ready to follow this path together with the Polytechnic University, emphasized Evgenia Satalkina, Head of the International Education Department.
